February is Black History Month and these are selected demographics for blacks in Nevada and the United States.

The top map and all of the charts are from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community survey. This is an annual survey the census bureau does from a small population sample each year. This data is from a three-year sample from ACS data from 2010 to 2012. For this data, a black person is defined as someone who describes himself or herself as either being black or black in combination with another race. Some states are not represented due to concerns about the sample size.

The map of veterans status is taken from a separate census bureau report. For this data, only people who reported being black and not of mixed races were counted.
